Rotator cuff surgery support group
Anyone here experience a meniscus tear surgery? That is next on my list of experiences!
Any advice is welcomed.
Had my 9 month follow up today...slight twinges from time to time but no great concerns on the repaired shoulder...however I now have tingling, numbness in my right hand (opposite) which gets so painful in the evening while sleeping that it wakes me up...Dr. scheduled a EMG test for end of January witht the hint of carpal tunnel surgery in my future...
Anyone have any experience with that neurogical test (with needles) and/or the actual surgery itself?
6 month post op today. I am still tight and some discomfort lifting things over head but I feel like I am improving weekly and have returned to work doing most things required. I am cautious, oh so cautious!
The PA offered me a cortisone shot, which I swiftly declined...more so because I want to trust my bodies signals and not mask any discomfort that may arise. I do need to work on increasing my strength and will do just that. Overall I am happy with my progress.
One last item of note, I still do not sleep on my repaired shoulder, just don’t feel confident in that position yet...still supporting the shoulder while sleeping on my right side or flat on my back.
Next follow up will be in 3 months, 9 month mark.
